Library Services

The mission of the Pearland ISD Libraries is to provide innovative library services and quality resources that facilitate discovery and enhance student learning. All students are welcome to read, explore, and express ideas in an open and safe environment.

The public can view and access our library catalog, Follett Destiny Discover. Students can select books for checkout using the links found in their Clever or Canvas dashboards. Please see your options as a parent to see what your student has checked out below.

Sora, our eBook and Audio book program, now allows you to see the books your student has access to, books they have checked out, set up email notifications, or allows you to lock individual books in the platform. See the information on how to turn on and use the Sora Parent Controls here.

Pearland ISD aslo provides database resources to staff and students through TexQuest, as well as those part of a grant with Ancestry. These are all accessible from Clever or Canvas. However, as part of the grant, Ancestry, Fold3, and Newspapers.com are ONLY accessible from within the district.

In compliance with Texas Senate Bill 13, Pearland ISD invites the public to review our proposed library book purchases for 30 days before final Board approval. We value our parents’ input and invite you to submit comments on any book listed using the link provided.

Destiny Parent Portal

Pearland ISD provides parents and guardians with access to Destiny Discover, our library catalog. This access enables you to review and manage the checkout history of your student(s) within Pearland ISD.

Through the Destiny Parent Portal, you can search the catalog available to your student and choose to block specific book titles or authors if you wish. As a parent or primary guardian, you may also view any blocked items and the checkout history for each of your student(s).

Please note that once a book is blocked, it cannot be checked out by the student or overridden by library staff. Only you have the authority to remove a block on any item in the catalog.
